Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-01-15 15:46:47 UTC
A DOM based cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way browser-based test suite of Apache CouchDB, a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API, processed certain query parameters. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted web page that, when accessed could lead to arbitrary web script or HTML execution in the context of a CouchDB user session.
